The biggest, little boat in the Bay will be going up for sale in May. No particulars yet but sell off the beater and start saving.
The boat is rigged for crab, lobster, clam and tuna. Less than 1000 hours on a new CAT 3208 TA and Twin Disc gear. It can easily be rigged for a green stick fishing and it has all the hydraulics you will ever need installed and running flawlessly. Easy cruise 17 kts. WOT 22 kts. Five guys, gear, 1000#'s of ice, Fire Island Inlet to the 100 square in five hours. Total trip with trolling, 180 gallons of #2 and that ain't shit.
New in the last two years: Furuno 585 with B-260 transducer.
Simrad Autopilot
Garmin 5212
Garmin 24 HD radar
Solas A Liferaft (still current)
This has been my baby. Although it is technically a commercial boat, it supplemented my income and was mainly used for crabbing in the Great South Bay. The boat is in awesome shape. Remove six bolts and the A-frame super structure is off.
Reason for selling, I will be moving and I don't plan to take it with me to Florida. Price will be under $100,000. If you ever wanted to get into some type of sport/commercial fishing, this is the boat.
You don't need a bunch of fluff on a downeast boat to fish comfortable. Three large bunks forward and plenty of cabin room. Don't worry about taking a few extra guys to cover expenses, you will still be able to carry all the ice and gear you need.
120 bushels of clams. That's some weight.
